What make is this piece of furniture ?

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

We have had this set of pull through drawers for over 20 years. Dark solid oak and still in excellent condition. We would like to get some other pieces in the same dark oak style and same make/manufacture (we rather like the knots and natural look) if it is possible. The problem is that we have no idea of the make as there is no label/stamp and despite extensive google we cannot find it. We 'think' it was from Courts but of course they no longer exist.

If anyone has any idea of make/manufacturer/something identical then any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

Brian.

I can’t help with the brand, but I have seen similar at Oak Furnitureland, but they’re not open at the moment of course. I have a similar piece bought from a lovely furniture shop in Stevenage about 5 years ago, but unfortunately they have closed down.

Thanks Sonia, it was a vague hope but once things are "normal ?" again then we will be touring the furniture shops to see what we can spot.

Cheers

No, ask away :-) I'm not a pro though, just kind of passionate about design and interiors and all that :-) Great cabinet. I'm really not opposed to mixing metals. You'll get a more eclectic mix. It is the result of going with what you love and not with what you think goes with something else. And that will give your interior your own personal style. Matter of taste. Some people really don't like it. Others do :-) Go for a fairly large coffee table. I would think at least 100 cm wide. Tape (news) paper together to the size of the coffee table you like and lay that on the floor. It will give you an idea about the scale in your room. You need it to be easily reachable from the sofas, since you have these high armrests. And your room can take a large table. If you can't find a large one you like, you can also think about putting together 4 smaller square ones for example. The one with the metal base (I took two from the Soul Lifestyle site) is on the smallish side. The black one is larger. Round fits nicely with the shape of your sofas. Not sure if I mocked up the sizes correctly, but I think the lovely side table is too small. The lamp is about 70 cm tall (again, I guestimated the size), but it does look small on that low table. Maybe it's taller in real life than in the mock up? Mixed metals in a room

Thrift shops rule! You can pick up the practical stuff---tables, chairs, chests of drawers, and even upholstered items---and make them your own with chalk paint and slipcovers. Sometimes you can find attractive art. Lamps are also super cheap at such places as the Salvation Army, and you can paint those, too. Chalk paint can be used indoors, as it requires no messy sanding and has essentially no smell. I think you'll also want a rug and curtains. If I were you, I'd use the greater part of my budget on a good rug or two that I could keep forever. Lots of people make their own drapes out of drop cloths, but Ikea curtains are a pretty cheap option. Good luck. You're going to have fun decorating your new place.

Agree with Judith too, paint all one colour as back wall. I like the fireplae and wouldn't replace it. That mirror it too big and not very interesting, doesn't do anything for the wall or the fireplace. The gold I suspect clashes with the metal on the surround, bit too new and shiny. I think a great piece of artwork would really set off the fireplace and make it a gorgeous focal point. As the fireplace is very angular I suggest a more organic colourful piece to soften it up a bit. A real painting rather than a print if you can. Keep an eye out at markets, second hand stores ... or even eBay!

The 'inglenook' fireplace - reminds me of my grandparents home where we would all congregate for high tea once a month. However, I have come across them in Scotland and in Cornwall, so perhaps they are more a 'Celtic' thing!

I would class that colour as more of a medium oak as opposed to dark oak.

You have to remember that timber is a natural product and whichever piece of timber is being used for production will look different. Some will have more knots than others. No two pieces are the same so although you prefer to knots and wanting similar you will just have to look for a piece of furniture that you like and see which individual piece looks the best to you.

Also bear in mind that if you’ve had the existing furniture 20+ years the colour will have darkened with age naturally.

If you want to have matching furniture the only way is to buy a matching set that were manufactured at the same time. So you might have to replace this piece with something new or consider having furniture that is a close match- which is fine too.
